Sourcing
Profit is mostly decided at the moment you buy. This hub covers sourcing for resellers who buy on Vinted, OLX, Allegro Lokalnie and in physical second-hand shops: how to judge a listing in under a minute, how to set buying rules you can stick to, how fast new-listing alerts need to be, how to avoid replicas, and when bales or cross-platform arbitrage actually add up. The focus is repeatable decisions, not lucky finds.
